Using dates in Excel 2003
Thank you. Very helpful. I appreciate that you gave me an option to use text.
My employer wants to see it expressed as "1.5%"

If you want it to be real numerical percentage use
=IF(G170=DATE(2008,8,31),0.015,0)
and format the result as percentage
if you want a text result use
=IF(G170=DATE(2008,8,31),"1.5%","0%")

I have a column of dates. If a date falls on 9/1/2008 or later I want 1.5%
to appear in J170. Otherwise I want 0% to appear. I want to use the IF
function. I have written this: =IF(G170=8/31/2008,"1.5%","0%"). It did
not
work. I tried =IF(G170<=9/1/2008, "1.5%","0%"). IN the first case it
always
returns 1.5%. The 2nd case returns 0%. The date in cell G170 in both cases
is
7/25/2008.
